is in final negotiations to play the iconic Mattel character in Warner Bros. movie centered on the classic doll line. Greta Gerwig is directing the pic with Robbie playing the titular role. Given his busy schedule, Gosling initially passed on playing the part, but insiders add that as pre-production dragged out and the studio remained persistent with him being their only choice, an opening in his schedule appeared, allowing him to sign on to the project.
With Gosling close to signing on, the film looks to be on the verge of a greenlight and the hope would be to shoot at the top of 2022. Gerwig also co-wrote the script with Noah Baumbach.

Robbie will also produce the film, under her LuckyChap Entertainment production banner along with LuckyChap’s Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara as well as Mattel’s Robbie Brenner and Ynon Kreiz; and David Heyman. As for Gosling, the role itself may be some of the more spot on casting in recent years in Hollywood and is sure to excite fans even more of what to expect out of this project. The Oscar-nominated actor recently wrapped production on the Netflix action picGosling is repped by CAA and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern. Robbie and LuckyChap are repped by CAA, Management 360 and attorney Jeff Bernstein.
